Dear Daniel,

As you may have heard, Ameren is working to pass legislation to charge a brand new surcharge to every business and resident electric bill. Despite the fact that Ameren’s rates have gone up 43% since 2006, costing Missourians $2.8 billion, Ameren wants to change the rules so they can raise your rates without hearing your opinion about it.

Ameren’s bill, SB 207 is allowing a monopoly utility company to take more money from Missouri businesses and citizens. No other state allows anything like Ameren’s requested surcharge. SB 207 will kill Missouri jobs by operating as a massive rate increase on Missouri employers and consumers. In addition, SB 207 's massive automatic rate increases will drive up the cost of doing business in Missouri and cause jobs to move to other states.

We need your help to make sure the legislature knows that SB 207 is an unprecedented overreach and would hurt consumers. Come show your opposition to the bill by coming to the legislative hearing on SB 207 at 3 pm on February 5th in the Senate Lounge, inside the State Capitol.

Despite Missouri's struggling economy, Ameren is using profits extracted from Missouri ratepayers to prop up losses from its unregulated affiliates and subsidiaries in other states. Say no to Ameren’s latest power play by coming to the legislative hearing on SB 207 at 3 pm on February 5th in the Senate Lounge, inside the State Capitol. Keep up with FERAF on Facebook and Twitter.

Sincerely,

The FERAF Team
